Intro:
This is a special anniversary cache for us, we started Geocaching a year ago and have been hooked ever since. From the start we have loved the idea of swapping swag items and collecting interesting things from the caches we visit. When we picked up our first swag from Gecko’s Hobbit Home we decided we would keep all the swag we collect along the way; In the beginning we had no clue what to do with it all, they were just cool memories of each cache…
Cache idea: This cache is a combination of ideas from our previous caches, that and caches from others that we have enjoyed finding ourselves. If you have found our previous cache hides then you may find the hints helpful (hints are encoded at each waypoint). The final cache is a FULLY stocked ammo can; Full because it contains all of the swag we have collected over the year. There is also a Kiwi Pathtag as a FTF prize
Rules: To complete this cache you have to bring some swag of your own to swap, please no excuses or exceptions. You may only take the oldest swag item in the cache (however tempting the others may be 
), this does not stop you coming back later when you think the swag item you want will be next! Instructions on how to log your swag swap are included in the final cache location:
|
PLEASE READ INSTRUCTIONS BELOW! This is a special cache, When placed it contained all the swag items we have swapped in our first year of Geocaching. In order to say you have completed this cache and sign the log book, you MUST exchange some swag of your own. No excuses! RULES:
Example:
In the swag list shown, you would take the slide puzzle and cross out that line. FIFO cache ensures that all the items in the cache get moved on so no items get stuck in the cache forever. Please remember to sign the logbook too! |
It would be great if you could also take a photo of the swag you swapped in and out to upload in your online log.
